All in the presentation.

It seems that the Chancellor may end up borrowing a few billion pounds less over this financial year than he originally forecast. This is being portrayed as some sort of success for the Government's financial strategy. I am reminded of the old cartoon where a wife comes back from the sales festooned with shopping bags from various clothes shops and departmental stores and says to her long-suffering husband "You wouldn't believe how much I've saved you!"
